What is gey?

Okay, here's some information about being gay in Markdown format with the requested links:


Being gay refers to a sexual orientation where a person is primarily attracted to individuals of the same sex. Specifically, it usually refers to men who are attracted to other men. It's a core aspect of a person's identity and not a choice. Like other sexual orientations (such as heterosexuality, bisexuality, and asexuality), being gay is a natural variation of human sexuality.

Historically and in some places currently, gay people have faced discrimination, prejudice, and legal challenges. The fight for LGBTQ+%20rights has been a long and ongoing process, aiming to achieve equality and acceptance for gay individuals in areas such as marriage, employment, and housing.

Coming to terms with one's sexual%20orientation, often called "coming%20out", can be a significant and personal journey. Support from family, friends, and LGBTQ+ communities can be crucial during this process.

The term "gay" is also sometimes used as an umbrella term to refer to the entire LGBTQ+ community, though this usage can be less precise as it does not encompass the diverse identities and experiences within that community.
